Maryland football offensive coordinator Walt Bell is expected to become Florida State's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, according to a report from Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel that was later backed by Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman.

Bell has led the Terps' offense since 2016, using an up-tempo attack and trick plays to average more than 320 yards per game in back-to-back seasons despite injuries to multiple key players. He also brought a quirky personality the team embraced over the past two campaigns.

Health problems forced Maryland to start four different quarterbacks last year, leading to a disappointing 4-8 record. Even so, Bell, 33, remains one of the highest-regarded young coaches in the nation.
